What if I told you there is a place where, from the moment you arrive, everyone welcomes you with a warm smile and open arms? Where the air is filled with the perfume of bougainvillea, charming countryside farmhouses hide around every bend and long dirt roads lead to phenomenal restaurants in which, when you walk through the doors, you are greeted like family.
Parma is not a big city filled with iconic tourist attractions drawing visitors from all over the world. It is a small town. The streets are filled with the real people who live there, just going about their days. But for a dietitian and foodie like me, what Parma does offer might be even more exciting than world renowned churches, museums and works of art. Parma is the home of such wonders of the culinary world as Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Prosciutto di Parma and, the stuff of dreams, torta fritta (we’ll get there).
